Can landlord ask me to leave early?>
I have given my notice to our LL, and she's obviously bitter as the property is on the market, and she has had no viewings... and we aren't buying it now and moving out (we don't want to sit and wait!) Now, can she ask me to leave early (earlier then my notice period?) Also, if we painted a room (with her permission) it…

Buyer requests a Missing Particulars indemnity
Our buyer's solicitor is requesting we take out a "missing particulars indemnity policy". This policy is to cover against potential enforcement action by the local council, who could demand that the property returned to its original state (a small 1-storey extension at the rear of the kitchen and a knock-through of lounge…

Choosing a conveyancer
I've put in an offer on a property, and am now considering who my conveyancer should be if it is successful. What should I consider.

Should this fault have been noted on a domestic visual condition report?
I paid for one of these reports when I first rented this property as landlords are not obliged to provide electrical certificates, only gas :-( The property is 6 years old and is a PME system. The electrician said at the time he could not see any problems. After paying I received the report through the post with no…

Royal Mail Redirection
I was looking to set up an RM redirection service. From what I have read on these forums looks like the easiest option is to complete the form and take it to the Post Office. I am a bit puzzled by the fact that the redirection form asks for the date of birth for each person entered on the form. We are all well aware that…
